Whatever your condition or goals, the WAVE has been shown to produce similar results to regular exercise in less time, while providing minimal stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons. The WAVE is the ideal solution for those that cannot handle the stress of conventional training or lack the time. The WAVE’s effect on muscle, bone and blood vessels makes it a safe and effective exercise alternative, or an effective complement to a regular training program to accelerate and enhance your results.

Backed by research, driven by results ...
A 6 month study of post menopausal women found that vibration training had a net 1.5% increase in hip bone density compared to regular resistance training. Vibration training was also accomplished in less time than resistance training.
(Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2004; 19 (3); 352-359)

A 12 week study found that strength gains from vibration exercise (maximum of 20 minutes, 3 times per week) were equivalent to one hour of conventional exercise.
(Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2003; 35 (6); 1033-1041)

In a study of chronic low back pain, vibration training was shown to produce similar reduction in pain as rehabilitation exercises.
(Spine, 2002; 27 (17); 1829-1834)

A study found that controlled vibration training increased muscle strength and balance in nursing home residents and increased quality of life.
(Arch Phys Med Rehabilitation, 2005; 86; 303-307)

It is concluded that vibration training is a promising candidate to improve control of posture in stroke patients.
(Am J Phys Med Rehabilitation, 2004 Nov;83(11):867-73)

Vibration training was found to increase postural control and mobility in a study involving people with multiple sclerosis.
(Clinical Rehabilitation, 2005 Dec;19(8):834-42)

A study conducted in 2001 demonstrated a doubling of blood circulation after vibration training.
(Clinical Physiology, 2001; 21 (3): 377-382)

A study found that knee rehabilitation patients gained nearly twice as much strength (+ 126%) after vibration training when compared to regular rehabilitation exercises (+78%).
(University of Graz, Austria, 2003)

Testimonials

“After a severe car accident, I ended up having seven knee surgeries. Rehab took a long time but I never fully recovered. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to get stronger, but weight training was too stressful on my knees. When I began using the WAVE, I wasn’t only surprised that I was getting stronger, but that it didn’t put any stress on my knees. It’s the only exercise that was able to get me fully active again. I think every rehabilitation center should have a WAVE!”

- Chris Browne

“I was having back pain for 8 years and seeing a lot of different doctors. I tried a lot of exercises and therapies but only got temporary relief. The WAVE was a godsend. It helped my back get stronger and more flexible. I truly believe it was the missing link in my treatments. Not only was I getting better with the WAVE, but I was getting better results when I combined it with my regular therapy.”

- Kim Stickel

“I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago. I joined a health club and did various exercises to help with the pain, but always felt ‘totally wiped out’ after exercising. Now, after using the WAVE, I have started to feel so much better. The WAVE has greatly increased my flexibility and circulation. It’s so easy to use, all it takes is 10-15 minutes per session, 3 times a week to see results.”

- Sue John
